Tip: When using Hexadecimal or Binary formats, inputs of very large numbers are
required to create change in every character in the generator. For example, if the default
Start and End values of 1 and 300 are used (in a default project of 300 frames), only the
last two or three digits appear animated in the Hexadecimal format.
If a number such as 4,294,967,296 is used, nearly all characters are animated.
Decimals: Available when Number, Currency, Percent, or Scientific is chosen from the
Format pop-up menu, sets the number of decimal places.
Capitalize: Uses initial uppercase letters are used when spelling out the numbers. This
checkbox is available only when Spell Out is chosen from the Format pop-up menu.
Minimum Digits: Available when Number is chosen from the Format pop-up menu,
defines the minimum digits used in the generator. The default value is 1.
Thousands Separator: Available when Number, Currency, or Percent is chosen from the
Format pop-up menu, displays a comma or other character to separate thousands (based
on what is chosen in the Region pop-up menu).
Random: Displays numbers randomly.
Random Seed: Changes the Random Seed number if you don’t like the current random
number count. Enter a new number or click Generate. This changes the random
calculations to display different numbers.
Random Hold Frame: Specifies how long (in frames) each number is held onscreen. For
example, If Random is selected and Random Hold Frame is set to 20, a number is displayed
for 20 frames, then the next number is displayed and held for 20 frames, and so on.
Region: Changes the region. By default, the generator uses the current system’s region.
Click the Current button to set the current system’s region as the region for the generator.
Click the Region pop-up menu to select another region.
Note: The selected region is saved with the generator. If opened on another computer
with a different regional setting, the generator retains the saved region.
